Severe weather is threatening as many as 73 million Americans in the eastern states, after two days of powerful storms killed up to 34 people.
Alabama had flash flooding and tornadoes were reported in North Carolina on Tuesday.
Thunderstorms and severe weather are expected along the east coast on Wednesday as the storm shifts.
Tornadoes cut a broad track of death and destruction through the southern US states on Sunday and Monday.
The storms flattened buildings, overturned cars, and left thousands of residents without power.

Giles Ward huddled in a bathroom with his wife and four other relatives as a tornado destroyed his brick house and overturned his son-in-law's four-wheel-drive parked outside his home in Louisville.
"For about 30 seconds, it was unbelievable,'' said Mr Ward, a Republican state senator. "It's about as awful as anything we've gone through."
Three people were reported dead in Alabama, including a University of Alabama student who perished when he took shelter in a basement and a retaining wall collapsed on him.
As many as 16 people were killed on Sunday, including 14 in the towns surrounding Little Rock, Arkansas, with Mayflower and Vilonia bearing the brunt of the damage.
Many homes and businesses, including a new secondary school worth $14m (£8.3m), were left in ruins in Vilonia after the storm.
President Barack Obama promised assistance to those affected by the storms, saying federal emergency officials would be on the ground to help.
"Your country will be there to help you recover and rebuild, as long as it takes," he said earlier.
